Construction

Our construction specialism covers both contentious and non-contentious work. Our teams have been recognised for their industry-leading knowledge and work.

Our experience covers advising on all areas of residential and commercial property development, including strategic land assembly promotion, the acquisition of development sites, planning, estate development, joint venture agreements and consortium management. In other words – we are well placed to advice on complex, project based, expert led work.
